I've something dumb with my root directory...it seems sdmach is missing or  
damaged and the machine won't reboot. I'm no UNIX whiz. I thought that  
maybe all I would need to do is to do a basic boot from a floppy, bUT all  
I can find is Bootfloppy2.1 in th archives. Is there a 3.0 version, or is  
there some other way to fix this problem?
